Having been presumed dead, Akira woke up without any recollection of who he was. The only thing he does remember was his name, and the memory of a vivid ravenette with blood red eyes, along with her kind smile.
However, there is another thing he doe...
Currently running through the dark filled streets of Kyoroch was Lubbock, with Mez and Sten hot on his tail. Using Cross Tail, he uses his wires to zip through the city, trying to make his escape from the two Rakshasas Demons behind him.
Lubbock: (thoughts) 'Shit! They jumped me! How did they sniff me out!?'
Mez: "Take that!"
The tanned skin girl was a Rakshasa Demon, so she displayed super inhumane strength, speed, endurance, and the like, along with a variety of skills to use. One of those skills was body manipulation, Mez able to extend her limbs forward. Her hand clenched into a fist as it struck Lubbock's back, causing him to cough up blood as he fell to the ground.
Skidding across the floor, he soon comes to a stop, not moving. Mez soon comes scraping by him, stopping next to his body as she nudges him with her foot. Lubbock didn't move a single muscle.
To confirm that he was dead, Mez crouched down and felt for a pulse. Nothing.
Mez: "His heart's already stopped. Weakling!"

On the outskirts of Kyoroch, Tatsumi and Mine had just left the city and entered a more rocky terrain, seemingly at the bottom of a canyon. Their gaze was set onto Kyoroch, the wind blowing through their hair.
Tatsumi: (scratches the back of head) "Phew! We walked everywhere."
Mine: "I gotta admit, this place is so diverse. It's intriguing. When all of this is over, I want to come shopping here too."
Tatsumi: (sigh) "You take so long shopping, it'd take days."
Mine: "Huh? That's usual. Completely normal." (smug grin) "A guy who can't let a woman shop... How narrow-minded."

Tatsumi: (visible tick mark) "And a girl so quick to call a guy 'narrow-minded' is narrow-minded herself."
Mine: "That does it! Let's hash out the pecking order right here and now! You are so cheeky, you know that!?"
Tatsumi: "We're supposed to be the same rank, so realize that just bringing up a 'pecking order' shows how wrong you are!"
???: "Please. Enough of this senseless arguing..."
Mine/Tatsumi: "...Huh?"
The two assassins pause and look to the new voice. It was the Path of Peace's leader, a kind smile on his face as he stood in front of them with many of his followers behind him.
Priest: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so forward and intrusive."
Mine: "Don't tell me... You're the Path of Peace's..."
Tatsumi: "Are you their priest?"
Priest: "Yes. I sometimes make my rounds to see how the city is doing. I even ran into a familiar face. It seems he's taken my advice to heart and found someone that has accepted him for what he is. Even if he views himself as a monster."
